Former chief minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday questioned the Congress’ approach towards the state of Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
Taking to micro-blogging website Twitter, Omar wrote:” It says a lot about the Congress party & its approach to J&K. There hasn’t been a single election meeting by its leadership. Contrast this with the number of rallies addressed by Modi ji & Amit Shah. They may not have come to the valley but they didn’t ignore the state.”
Omar also said that by ignoring the state like this, the Congress is giving a walkover to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
“The Congress was in with a fighting chance in 4 of the 6 seats and in 3 of these the BJP was the main opponent. It’s inexplicable how the BJP was simply given a walkover as far as the optics of the campaign were concerned,” Omar tweeted.
